Rejected petition Make disused areas able for people to ride off road bikes

There are a shortage of places to ride off road bikes as tracks are many miles away and I believe it would deter people from riding illegally on the road and encourage more youths to take to a constructive hobby that is quite expensive to get into

More details

It would be a way to get people into the hobby as there wouldn’t be a need to find someone with a van and would stop people seeing them ridden illegally in the road, there are plenty of disused parks etc where this could take place and it is a shame to see the areas going to waste. If the users agreed to take care of the areas we would use I feel this would be a very constructive thing for the government to introduce for many reasons. I think it’s time we do something

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about making areas available for biking are a matter for local authorities and other landowners, not the Government or House of Commons.

As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
